Overview
What is WEEE Recycling?
WEEE recycling is the safe collection, treatment and disposal of anything with a plug, cable or battery. UK law requires all electrical waste to go through authorised channels for compliant WEEE disposal. We accept all 15 WEEE categories at our in-house AATF - the only UK facility licensed to treat them all under one roof.

Explainer
Why Correct Electrical Waste Disposal Matters
E-waste contains hazardous elements such as mercury, lead and flame retardants. Licensed recycling keeps these substances out of soil, water and air, and returns materials to manufacturing instead of landfill. Failure to follow proper recycling protocols can result in significant contamination risks and serious legal consequences.
